Nice morning, cold but not quite freezing. Halfway through my morning perambulation waiting on my breakfast.

The café has put up Bah! Humbug! Decorations and it's still only November. At least we're spared Slade and Roy Wood so far.

Sunny morning and 4.6C outside.
I will go back to the library and get a change of books this morning as the last lot I got turned out to be not very interesting when I skimmed through them at home.
Should get out on trike later but the sun is too low for safety on the road so may try an off road unless my hands freeze too much when setting off. The front tyre also needs a bit of air which will probably freeze my fingers.

Correspondence from OVO Energy which may explain some of the recent debacle. It got to me ok but the address is mangled. All the bits are there but in the wrong order. This means that a stranger ie a meter reader will probably go and read somebody else's meter about half a mile away.
I have the same problem with one mail order firm I deal with who insist the postcode given is somebody else's address.
Why can they not just put the address they were given rather than mangle it and make it nonsense?

It's amazing how many people double park outside the shop next door to cafe rather than use the mostly empty carpark about 50 feet away.

Noticed my garden table located ice warning aka the puddle on its cover is at high alert - completely solid. Was expecting the surface to crack when I touched it.

Good morning from a bright & sunny Suffolk. Looking at the trees the other side of the rail line it appears to be fairly breezy so I'll give it another cup of coffee and a very late breakfast before I go out in the hope it warms up a bit.

I need to pop up to my sister's place to drop off a parcel for my niece - as a result of John Lewis's free extended warranty and a current offer, not only does my niece get a new lamp to replace a birthday present one that stopped working after 2 1/2 years but I get a £6 refund on the original purchase cost.

Called into town got what I needed but had to call into M&S for teabags. Thought be a quick in and out boy was I wrong the big clear the store. Has started 50% of anything not fresh or alcohol though thats 30%. So queue middle class madly filing trolleys with what what ever can find.In the mean time us more cool headed ones carefully selecting what stuff to squirrel away. Along the way spotting stuff worth having and missed by the mob. Bagged some nice premium stuff to add to the stock cupboard , a bit extra for Christmas and some treats for me for boxing day. Mrs 73 has called in to get her dad some wine so i've sent her with a list of stuff i know they still had. Lord knows what will come back.

I've swept and mopped the apartment and had lunch; fried bacon and noodles with Sauerkraut.
